The economy-wide impact of stabilizing atmospheric CO2 concentrations
was assessed based on 42 post-SRES stabilization scenarios developed using the
AIM, ASF, MARIA, MiniCAM, MESSAGE, and World SCAN models. These scenarios were
developed by applying various mitigation policies and measures to the six illustrative
scenarios (baselines) presented in the Special Report on Emission Scenarios
Figure 8.16: Reductions in carbon emissions for
the SRES A1B 550 case.
Figure 8.17: Time path of emissions reductions.
The economy-wide impact of CO2 stabilization was assessed on the
basis of the difference in GDP in baseline scenarios and corresponding stabilization
cases in a given year. This difference is expressed in percent (reflecting a
relative GDP loss) and is positive when GDP in a baseline scenario is larger
than in a stabilization case and is negative when GDP in a stabilization scenario
is larger. Such an approach to measuring effects of stabilization was selected
since it better reflects the societal burden of emission stabilization than
absolute changes in GDP. For example, a 1% reduction in the 2100 GDP of the
SRES A1 world is equal to about US$5.5 trillion and is larger in absolute terms
than a 2% or US$5.0 trillion reduction in the 2100 GDP of the poor A2 world.
Nonetheless, the relative level of effort in the latter case would be much greater.
It should be also emphasized here that the GDP reduction itself represents a
very crude indicator of economic consequences of the CO2 stabilization.
For example, most of the stabilization scenarios reviewed here have not rigorously
accounted for the economic effects of introducing new low-emission technologies,
new revenue rising instruments or adequate inter-regional financial and technology
transfers, all elements which contribute to lower the costs as explained in
the rest of the chapter.
Figure 8.18: Global average GDP reduction in 2050 for alternative
stabilization targets and six SRES reference scenarios.
The average GDP reduction in most of the stabilization
scenarios reviewed here is under 3% of the baseline value (the maximum reduction
across all the stabilization scenarios reached 6.1% in a given year). At the
same time, some scenarios (especially in the A1T group) showed an increase in
GDP compared to the baseline due to apparent positive economic feedbacks of
technology development and transfer. The GDP reduction (averaged across storylines
and stabilization levels) is lowest in 2020 (0.99%), reaches a maximum in 2050
(1.45%) and declines by 2100 (1.30%). However, in the scenario groups with the
highest baseline emissions (A2 and A1FI), the size of the GDP reduction increases
throughout the modelling period.
Due to their relatively small scale when compared to absolute GDP levels, GDP
reductions in the post-SRES stabilization scenarios do not lead to significant
declines in GDP growth rates over this century. For example, the annual 1990-2100
GDP growth rate across all the stabilization scenarios was reduced on average
by only 0.003% per year, with a maximum reduction reaching 0.06% per year.
Figure 8.18 shows the relationship between the relative
GDP reduction, the scenario group, and the stabilization level in 2050. The
reduction in GDP tends to increase with the stringency of the stabilization
target. But the costs are very sensitive to the choice of baseline scenario.
The maximum relative reduction occurs in the A1FI scenario group, followed by
the other A1 scenario groups and the A2 group, while the minimum reduction occurs
in the B1 group20
. By 2100, the situation slightly changes with GDP reductions in the A2 scenario
group becoming relatively more pronounced.
Figure 8.19: Average GDP and CO2 reductions in 550ppmv
stabilization scenarios: year 2050 (labels identify different scenario
Differences in relative GDP reductions in different scenario groups are explained
by the magnitude of corresponding CO2 emission reductions needed
to achieve a particular stabilization level. The emission reduction is apparently
the largest in the A1FI scenario group, which is also associated with the
largest GDP loss (Figure 8.19). Meanwhile, the smallest
relative GDP loss occurs in the A1T and B1 groups, which have low baseline
emissions and accordingly require the smallest reductions to reach the CO2
Regional GDP reduction patterns in the post-SRES stabilization scenarios
are also generally explained by corresponding required reductions in CO2
emissions, which are determined by baseline emissions, the stabilization levels,
assumptions about emissions trading mechanisms and about the relative contribution
of regions to global CO2 emissions; reduction and associated financial
and technology transfer. In most of the baseline (SRES) scenarios starting
from 2020, absolute CO2 emissions in developing (non-Annex I) regions
remain larger for the rest of the 21st century than in the industrialized
(Annex I) regions.

Campagnolo's Challenge Gloves are toasty down to about zero degrees, are windproof and water resistant, but they're not 100 per cent waterproof.
These gloves have separate inner and outer layers (effectively one glove inside another) made from a stretchy fabric with insulation properties called Thermo Textran, which is used on many other Campagnolo winter garments. There's also a waterproof membrane. Despite the double (or triple) layers, these aren't bulky and don't restrict hand movement. The fingers are cut so they curve inwards slightly, in the shape your hands would grip the bars, which adds to the flexible feel.
I've worn these gloves on some cold and windy days over the past few months (including this chilly April), with the temperature down to just above freezing, and they've kept my hands nice and warm. The fabric seems breathable as my hands didn't get sweaty.
The gloves were also absolutely fine for keeping my hands dry for several hours in drizzle and mild rain. But in a major downpour they started to leak, and my hands got wet. A second test in the road.cc shower cubical confirmed that they are not 100% waterproof in severe conditions. To be fair, they're not sold as waterproof gloves. Their description on the Campagnolo Sportswear website says the membrane is waterproof, not the glove itself.
So as long as you know what you're getting, these are totally fine for cold or damp days, and even in steady rain, but they won't stand up in a storm. This is not necessarily a disadvantage: if they were more waterproof, they'd probably be more sweaty.
Hand comfort is taken care of by gel pads at the base of the fingers and along the edge of the palm for buffering against the handlebars, and on top of these are some layers of silicon for grip. There's no pad or silicon in the area where the thumb meets the palm though, and that's the place you need it most, whatever bar position you use - tops, drops or hoods.
The cuffs have Velcro tabs to keep things snug around the wrist. Other features include a slim line of reflective piping on the back of the glove, and alongside it is a larger strip of rather plasticky looking material running from the cuff to the tip of the fourth finger - it looks like ti might be there for a purpose but it turns out the purpose is purely decorative. There's also a big Campagnolo logo on the back of each glove.
Size-wise, this test pair was a large, and fitted well around my fingers and palm, but I found the cuff a bit short compared to other gloves. If you're thinking of buying a pair of these Campag gloves (yes, for me it's always been Campag, never 'Campy') then it might be worth going up a size, to make sure you don't get a chill-gap between glove and jersey.
We tested the blue, red and black variety, but they are also available in yellow, white and black or red, white and black. There's also a plain black, and a white version.
The official retail price for is a penny under £60, which is steep - you can get gloves with similar performance for half this price - but it's par for the course with a premium brand like Campagnolo. They can be found at 35 quid or less on some major on-line stores which makes them much more affordable.
Winter gloves from the iconic Italian brand - windproof and water-resistant, but not 100% waterproof. And not cheap either.
road.cc test report
Make and model: Campagnolo Challenge Glove
Size tested: Lake - L
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Here's what the Campagnolo Sportswear (CSW) website says about Challenge kit: "With the Challenge line, Campagnolo Sportswear wants to propose a range of very close-fitting garments made of innovative fabrics that assist in the toughest challenges and protect from the most inclement weather. In addition to the technical features of the cuts and the elastic inserts, the aggressive colours and clear brands make a product stand out, demonstrating care in the combination of colours and in the choice of finishes that always ensure maximum comfort and total freedom of movement."
A cynic might sniff at terms like "aggressive colours" or query that a "combination of colours ... ensure maximum comfort". This review also revealed that these gloves were neither totally comfortable nor protected against extreme weather.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
Other features of the gloves mentioned on the CSW website include: "waterproof membrane, elastic windproof outer fabric, double gel pads on the palm absorb shocks and vibrations, adjustable cuff with Velcro strap, reflex piping on the back, silicone strips on the palm to guarantee better grip."
The gloves seem very well made, with neat stitching and hems. They're very windproof and water-resistant, but not totally waterproof in serious conditions. This is probably because, while the membrane may be totally waterproof, the stitching is not. To be fair, this is an issue with many garments - and especially with gloves.
For most conditions, these gloves are fine. If they were more waterproof, they'd probably be less breathable and more sweaty.
It's early days, but they've still looking good as new after several test rides. Given the quality of construction, they are likely to be durable.
At 126g the pair, the weight of these gloves is very good for the level of windproofing and water-resistance provided.
The fabric is stretchy, so the gloves are comfortable around the fingers. However, points are docked for no padding where the thumb meets the palm, and for the short cuffs.
At the full RRP of almost £60, these gloves are not great value. However, they're reduced to 35 quid or less on the major on-line stores, which makes them a much better deal - though still not a bargain.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
The designed pupose is winter conditions. For most riders in this country that includes serious rain, and these gloves are not fully waterproof. However, they don't claim to be. The description says the membrane is waterproof, not the glove itself.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Short cuffs, incomplete padding on the palm.
Did you enjoy using the product? No - personally I found them less comfortable than other similar gloves
Would you consider buying the product? No.
Would you recommend the product to a friend? No.
Anything further to say about the product in conclusion?
Construction, durability and weight all get very good scores, but the gloves are let down by their price and lack of comfort.

Rosa Brooks on Judith Miller, Patrice O'Neill on The Fire Next Time
This week on CounterSpin: New York Times reporter Judith Miller, whose faulty reporting helped the White House take the country to war in Iraq in 2003, has became a sort of First Amendment martyr when she was jailed for refusing to divulge sources on July 6th. Our guest, University of Virginia Law professor Rosa Brooks will share with us a different view of Miller and confidential sources.
Also on the show: the Flathead Valley in Montana is a community, like many others, with deep divisions about race and class, and the best way to use the land. Add anti-government extremism and a talk radio host who compares environmentalists to Nazis and you have a very volatile mix and the subject for the new documentary film, The Fire Next Time. We'll talk to director Patrice O'Neill about what the film's story says about the power of media to divide as well as to unify.

I just returned to the office after two weeks in China. I was in Shanghai and Beijing to work with my good friend, IBmer Dennis Ng. Dennis and I, as mentioned in my last blog post started working on a 2 day joint IBM-Brocade mainframe I/O and FICON performance/performance management training workshop. We started putting these together this past December. Dennis and I taught these together at IBM's Shanghai office, and then again at the IBM Beijing office. As these were the first two sessions, we did them for an internal audience (IBMers and Brocadians). We had great attendance (full classrooms) at both sessions. They were very successful sessions. We received great feedback from the attendees. There was a great deal of interaction with the students with many questions. Following the 2 day training session in each city, Dennis and I visited with a very large Chinese bank (mutual customer whose name will remain confidential) and worked with them directly.
Given this article, yet another doom and gloom article discussing the "threat of the looming mainframe skills shortage", our 2 weeks in China gave me reason to smile. I will admit that I am noticing the things discussed in the article as I meet with customers and our OEM partners around the world. And yes, there does seem to be a "graying effect". However, what made me smile was that the average experience level of our attendees in Beijing and Shanghai was 4 years of mainframe experience. For the vast majority, they were in their first job post college graduation.
Think of that for a minute. In one of the booming IT growth countries (BRIC=Brazil, Russia, India, and China), many people are choosing the mainframe as a career path right out of college! Is that great or what? I'd call this the Middle Kingdom Mainframe Renaissance. Dennis and I were extremely impressed with the knowledge level they had for being relatively inexperienced on the platform. And let me tell you, they were motivated to learn more! Apparently, I/O and storage related topics are not really covered in much depth in Chinese university curricula. Our Chinese friends asked us to consider adding more material and having this be a 3 day course, and/or to consider developing an advanced class that built upon the current course.
Here is a list of the topics Dennis and I cover in this training:
Day 1
1) FICON Express8S features, and performance. Includes a discussion on the new PCIe bus and I/O drawers.
2) FICON DCM (Dynamic Channel path Management)
3) zDAC (z Dynamic Auto discovery and Configuration)
4) zHPF (z High Performance FICON)
5) FICON aggregation and zHPF analysis tool
6) RMF reports used in a FICON environment
7) FICON CUP (Control Unit Port)
8) zLinux, NPIV, and FICON/FCP intermix
9) GDPS and cascaded FICON
10) Persistent IU Pacing (AKA Extended Distance FICON)
11) Brocade and FCIP channel extension for mainframe environments
Day 2
1) The life of a mainframe DASD I/O-how to use the RMF reports discussed in day 1
2) Buffer Credits
3) Virtual Fabrics and FICON
4) Local switching and cut through routing
5) Managing Interswitch Links (ISLs) and cascaded FICON
6) Using Brocade's management tools (DCFM/BNA, FabricWatch, and SANHealth) with RMF in FICON environments
If you are interested in learning more about this training, or have suggestions on topics to add, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I will conclude with the formal announcement of the Brocade Mainframe Solutions Community. Given the tremendous success of this blog and the outstanding readership, we now have a full community page/forum to go with the blog. We will be posting a lot of great content-presentations, papers, articles, videos, etc. The first content posted will be the powerpoint shows for the above training.
Also, watch for my upcoming zJournal article that will be a detailed discussion on the RMF reports used in a FICON environment.
Dr. Steve
Steve, this is inspiring.

Nitter 2.0.1 Available – Fixes DMs
A very quick (and rare) update on my blog!
Since 25th May 2011, my Nitter script has been broke due to a change with the Twitter API. OK, so the problem was actually Net::Twitter::Lite so the changes to my script have been minimal as I've switched over to Net::Twitter (3.18001), which supports the new way of requesting friend and followers IDs.
You can grab Nitter 2.0.1 from the usual place.
Happy New Year! Hopefully you won't update Nitter and then be bombarded with alerts from your NOC over the holidays.

The day of talks will be followed by drinks at the venue bar, and a chance to chat with fellow industry professionals.
We're pleased to partner with Manchester Digital who are supporting the event.
Registration - 9.30 am
The likability of brands. Are they doing what it takes to be liked? - Rob McNair, Chief Strategic Officer, mycleveragency - 10.00am
Rob explores the fundamental shift in how we are discovering content, brands and products. He demonstrates how search and social sites are adapting to find you new curated information right now. Rob also discusses ways that brands are using unconventional ways to get noticed and stay relevant on the social web.
Tea/Coffee - 11.00am
Tips on using analytics to manage your social spaces better - Abigail Murphy, Partner at Outlandish LLP - 11.30am
You've got your page, your feed and your channel but what are the best analytics to work out how well you are doing? We will talk you through the data and tools you have access to, and the best things you can get out of them.
- Facebook Analytics
- Twitter stats (What you CAN get from them)
- bit.ly
- Google Analytics
- Twitter apps & tools to keep an eye on
Lunch - 12.30pm
Influencer Marketing, Will Francis, Co-Founder and Director at Harkable - 1.30pm
Brands now have the opportunity to create, nurture and grow a community of highly valuable advocates, though many marketeers and agencies still struggle in this fertile area. This session looks at how it has and hasn't worked in the past, and provides an explanation of how to do it properly, in a way that is truly worthwhile for both online influencers and brands.
- The increasing value in influencer marketing
- How to create and maintain relationships with your advocates
- Measuring ROI on influencer marketing
- What are the risks and legalities in this area?
Tea/Coffee - 2.30pm
The Internet of Things - Will Grant, Technology Consultant, willgrant.org - 3.00pm
The term Internet of Things (IoT) has been coined to mean an internet where devices (not just people) can communicate. Imagine being able to search your computer, not just for information, but for your objects. Or, what if your phone knew where the next bus was and its ETA to the bus stop?
All the technology needed to make this a reality exists, right now. Smart phones, GPS and Wireless. Large-scale databases and cloud computing. It's just a matter of time and, of course, a business model.
Real world example: The eagerly-anticipated iOS 5 (for iPhones and iPads) can notify you, for example, when you are near a petrol station to buy more fuel. It's a short step from that to your car telling your phone that you're low on fuel.
IoT concepts are going to start appearing in mainstream devices and services sooner than you think - and this talk aims to set the scene, show some great examples that are already in use - as well as look forward to future applications for organisations and individuals.
Drinks - 4.00pm onwards

If it's fall, it must be time for the Coastal Carolina Fair.
Now in its 57th year, the fair draws more than 250,000 people to the Exchange Park during its 10-day run each year and pumps about $750,000 annually into local charities.
The fair, run by the Exchange Club of Charleston, opens Thursday and will run through Nov. 10.
"As always, we are promising a safe and secure fair," said spokesman Joe Bolchoz. "You can't have fun if you don't feel safe."
As part of those safety measures, book bags, backpacks, bags and coolers are banned, and fair officials will not store or hold these items for people who have them. Strollers are allowed.
"We are strongly discouraging backpacks, but common sense will prevail," said Bolchoz. "We recognize that mothers with children certainly need to carry certain things and people with health issues sometimes have to carry a cooler for their medicine. The only thing that might happen is a courtesy inspection."
Another new safety measure involves lost children. In addition to child identification tags and wristbands that are available at the fair, parents will be encouraged to take a photo of their child on their cellphone or tablet at the entrance, where height charts will be posted. If the child gets lost, an accurate photo can be disseminated to deputies working at the fair.
Also, a spinning ride called the Vortex, which was scheduled to be part of the Midway, has been replaced by the Nemesis 360.
Five people were injured when they fell off the Vortex at the North Carolina State Fair in Raleigh last week. The operator, who works for an independent ride contractor, was charged with tampering with the ride, but fair officials did not want to take any chances.
"The Nemesis was here about three years ago and was a big draw then," Bolchoz said. "We think it will be again this year."
Here's what else you need to know:
The basics
Location: Exchange Park, 9850 U.S. Highway 78, Ladson
Gate hours: 3-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 3-11 p.m. Friday; 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday; Noon-9 p.m. Sunday.
Admission: $8/adults, $5/ages 6-12, free/under 5. Greenbax also are accepted: 8 books/adults or 5 books/ages 6 to 12.
Arriving: Signs on Interstate 26 will direct you to use exit 205A (U.S. 78) or exit 203 (College Park Road). Officials recommend that drivers be patient and allow extra time.
Once you reach the fairgrounds, S.C. Highway Patrol and other officials will direct you to a parking area. There is parking for 10,000 cars, so make a note of where you leave your vehicle. Parking areas are well-lit and are patrolled. Handicap spaces are available near Gate 1.
Entering: Gates for the fair are numbered 1, 2 and 4. Gate 1, fronting U.S. 78, is handicap-accessible. This is also where parents can drop off or pick up teenagers.
Lost and Found: The administration office and lost and found are by Gate 1, and the Lost Child Caboose is just inside this gate. If your child gets lost, Exchange Club members have radios to get the word out immediately. "Found" children are taken to the Lost Child Caboose near Gate 1.
at the fair
Layout: The grounds are laid out in a figure eight. The exhibit halls, two Kiddieland ride areas, the petting zoo and livestock areas, the entertainment stages and many food vendors are in the front circle. The loops intersect at the hand-stamp ticket sales, and the Midway rides and games are in the back.
Necessaries: There are seven sets of restrooms with diaper-changing stations throughout the grounds. They are staffed by attendants to keep them clean.
Budget-minded visitors: Admission includes daily entertainment on four stages, the animal barn, horse shows and exhibits.
Food: You can buy fried gummy bears and jalapeno corn dogs this year, but salads and other healthy fare also are available. Vendors range from local clubs to traveling vendors. Families can take a break to eat in the picnic area.
Hand stamps vs. coupons: Hand stamps that allow unlimited rides are $20 Sunday through Thursday and $25 Friday and Saturday. Families who want to ride only a few rides can purchase coupon books, which can be used by more than one person, for $20.
Other things to know
Rides: There are 66 rides spread over three areas. Two Kiddieland areas in the front loop have rides for the youngest fair-goers, some of which allow adults to ride along. The back circle, or Midway, is where you'll find thrill rides with neon lights and loud music. The Exchange Club prides itself on bringing in the latest thrill rides available each year. The rides are checked out by state ride inspectors and an independent company.
Safety: Exchange Club members, wearing caps that say "Coastal Carolina Fair," and many off-duty deputies patrol the grounds.
Volunteers: Plenty are on duty in case of medical emergencies.
Tips: If you'd like to try to avoid crowds, Bolchoz suggests arriving early and on weekdays. Saturdays are the busiest days.
Young at heart: Senior Citizens Day, for those 60 and older, is 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Wednesday. Admission is $4. The event includes special games and contests, a fashion show and line dancing. The Midway opens at 3 p.m.
Closing time: Posted fair hours state the gates' opening time. Buildings open an hour later, and the rides generally stay open two hours past the gate closing. Nightly fireworks shows are at 8:45 Sunday through Thursday and 10 Friday and Saturday.

Spiritual. Elegant. Miraculous. Peaceful. Strolling Marygrove's beautiful campus is like stepping into a masterpiece painting. In the heart of Detroit, it's a place that will stir your soul.
Often called Detroit's most elegant place to learn, Marygrove is located on 53 beautifully wooded acres in northwest Detroit. The park-like campus is centered by four very spacious buildings. Two main structures, both completed in 1927, are the Liberal Arts Building and Madame Cadillac Hall.
Built of Bedford stone in a Tudor Gothic architectural style, both buildings are distinguished by the quality of their materials, including Carrera and Tavernelle Rose marble, English oak paneling, stained and leaded glass windows, terra cotta fireplaces, and bronze grillwork. From the maple and oak hardwood floors to the slate roofs, the buildings are crafted with a quality of material and attention to detail that can never be replicated.

Michael Koebel led the Tornado with eight kills while bench play by Justin Crane and Matt Harper helped close out three close sets in row in their second straight conference win.
King's net play helped them to victory for the second straight night, tallying seven team blocks on 14 blocks assists compared to Erskine's 2.5 blocks on five block assists. Freshman middle blocker Matthew Lychock (Las Vegas, Nevada) led the Tornado with four block assists while four others registered two, each.
Erskine struggled at the service line by registering 17 service errors on the night. King limited its mistakes at the line, tallying only nine service errors while putting together four aces. Two of those aces came from sophomore Justin Crane (Richmond, Va.), who came off the bench in a clutch situation to turn the tide of the first set win.
Sophomore Matthew Harper (Matoaca, Va.) had a second solid game off of the bench, hitting 50 percent on 4-of-8 attack attempts. He also had a service aces and two block assists.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
Let me make this clear: I don't have a problem with dating a divorced man. No problem at all.
What I do have a problem with is when a divorced man isn't up front about it.
Menfolk of the world, I'm going to lay down some real talk right now: if your online dating profile doesn't disclose that you are divorced, the moment you explain you are really "divorced" and not just "single," I immediately think you are acting shady. Even if you weren't trying to hide it! Even if you just married her so she could get a green card! Even if you have been divorced so long you've forgotten her middle name!
Finding out that "single" signifier on his online dating profile actually should have read "divorced" has happened to me a grand total of FIVE times. I shit you not! Yes, all the guys listed themselves as "single" online, but mentioned their divorces at some point on the first date during the whole "this is my whole resume and life recap" bit. One guy referred to an ex as his "ex-girlfriend" first before letting it slip that they had been married. And an honorable mention goes to O'Ex-Boyfriend who dated me exclusively for two whole months before he let it drop that he wasn't actually legally divorced yet, only separated. Oh, did you just happen to forget to mention it?!?
Some of these men probably think they shouldn't be defined by their divorce. That's true, of course. People have long-term relationships and broken engagements and they don't disclose those on their profiles. However, I would challenge men to assume why they think being divorced is automatically a negative on the dating market. For many women, it's not a negative at all: a man who has a proven willingness to commit is actually an asset. But my concern is more psychologically paranoid. Nondisclosure of a piece of information so huge — they once legally bound themselves to another person, promising "'til death do us part" — makes it seem like there's a reason they're not being up front. And if he's not being up front about something major like his marital status, what else isn't he being up front about?
Here's two other facts you must disclose in your online dating profile:
Kids: Men are generally better about disclosing their children than their divorces. Why is that? It's so strange, because arguably children are a bigger dealbreaker. Some women are cool with dating a man with kids, some women are not. It presents a unique set of circumstances. You should be up front from the get-go, so a lady knows whether your couch will have crushed Cheerios between the sheets.
STD Status: Ami and I disagree on this one. She doesn't think that going on a date with someone means there's a presumption that sex will take place and that people should disclose once it's clear sex is going to occur. Meanwhile, I say that you should at the very least obliquely indicate your STD status in some way prior to meeting a person for two reasons. One, so other people wirh similar STDs who may want to date someone who knows what they're dealing with can find you, and two, so someone for whom an STD is a dealbreaker knows whether to to invest the time. For example, I was once chatting with a guy online who revealed to me that he had genital herpes. I wasn't surprised at that disclosure, because he had indicated in his profile that he was willing to date someone who had an STD and I assumed (correctly) that meant he had one himself. We never ended up going out on a date for a reason unrelated to the herpes, but I thought he had an immense amount of integrity for fully informing me. And that immense amount of integrity only made me like him more.
What other facts do you think people should be open and honest about in their online dating profiles? Tell me what you think in the comments.

Credits: 3
Fall 2014: Tu, 2:30-5:20, Bowers
Fall OCI Listing
This is an interdisciplinary graduate course designed for students who are familiar with the basic science of climate change and the international negotiations that have occurred since the drafting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992. The course draws on diverse fields ranging from economics to international relations and energy systems analysis. We examine climate change from an international perspective, with particular emphasis placed on the world's developing countries. The course opens with a brief review of the latest scientific findings, the most recent developments in climate change policy, and an overview of common tools that analysts use to examine the climate question. We then devote roughly half of the term to examining climate change impacts and adaptation and half to mitigation. In looking at impacts and adaptation, we examine social and biophysical vulnerabilities to environmental change and explore the policies and measures that have been proposed to minimize the impacts of climate change. In examining mitigation, we discuss technological options, policies, and socioeconomic impacts of mitigative measures. The course has a mixed lecture-discussion format. Participation during discussion is strongly encouraged and is incorporated in student evaluations. In addition, there are several guest speakers and potentially one field trip to the United Nations.

Gossip Girl Recap: This Will Be the Best Thanksgiving Ever
Thanksgiving on <i>Gossip Girl</i> is always a disaster, but they keep trying, because what else can they do?
"It's Thanksgiving again," said the omniscient Gossip Girl at the beginning of last night's episode, prompting us into a fuzzy, non-HD flashblack of all the Thanksgivings we've spent gathered around the table by the window in the van der Bass apartment. Like this one, the holidays of the past began with the same hope: that it would be "the best Thanksgiving ever," and like this one, things took an inevitable turn. There was the Thanksgiving when Blair barfed up her father's pie, the one where Lily commited Serena to rehab, and the one where Serena simpered over her terrible, scruffy-chinned boyfriend Aaron Rose. Thanksgiving on Gossip Girl is always a disaster, but on Gossip Girl, as in life, they keep trying, because what else can they do? So Serena shrugs and, as Blair expects, invites her horrible ex-boyfriend and his bratty teenage daughter to dinner. How bad can it be? Bad. Their presence causes immediate tension between her and Dan, but the real unwelcome guest isn't Sage and Steven, but the latest chapter of Dan's book, which posts on VanityFair.com in between courses.
Below, we parse the reality of that plot point and others in our famed reality index.
More Real Than Sniping at Thanksgiving
- We open with Serena, who when she was single subsisted on berries, eating what looks like a giant Cinnabon in bed with Dan, a prelude to the dreaded Relationship Weight-Gain. Plus 3
- Rufus, meanwhile, can fit back into one of the embroidered rockabilly shirt he stole from Reverend Horton Heat back in the nineties. Plus 2
- Plus 2 for Blair referring to Dan as alternately a "wool-haired whiner" and "a self-promoting hipster weasel."
- "Flying alone on the holidays is like Chatroulette," says Blair. Plus 2
- "After everything we have been through with Charles's vendetta, Bart decided we need a little R&R," says Lily. Plus 1. Destroying one's son can be so exhausting.
- When Lily can't find her vacation Missoni, Serena tells her to "try Eric's closet." Plus 1, and Plus another one for the acknowledgement of Jenny, who told Rufus Dan and Serena were back together over Skype. But — say it with me — WHERE IS SCOTT?
- Plus 10 for Blair having finally figured out that the best thing to do when Chuck goes "dark" is to ignore him. "Don't be a grumpy Gus," she says when Chuck is all, "We are never ever getting back together."
- Plus another one for "Did someone order a Thanksgiving spread?"
- The Humphreys have a world-famous stuffing recipe. Plus 1
- "It's a raw turkey," Serena says, "it looks disgusting." Plus 1
- Plus 1 for the beat when everyone present acknowledges that Daphne's son is indeed a bed-wetter. Plus 1
- Rufus refers to "cold, calculating" Bart Bass as "a reptile." This is why he never actually makes it to the beach — under his suit he's covered in scales! Plus 2
- "You don't know anything about Serena, or do you still think her name is Sabrina," Dan reminds Steven. Burn. Plus 1
- "Aren't you two supposed to be on a white sand beach where nobody pays capital gains tax?" Plus an extra 2 for the smirk with which Occupy supporter Penn Badgely delivers this line; he definitely Googled this term beforehand.
- "Lily could care less about an oil embargo or a fake death, but a real one?" says Blair, who understands the limits of Upper East Side women. Plus 1
- Georgina calls Dan "Dominic Dummy." Plus 2
- Steven is gluten free. Plus 5
- Bart's password is Park Avenue740. Plus 6
- "It's okay, I don't care if you watch," Sage says to Chuck when he eyes them making out. Plus 3. KIDS TODAY. Blame the Internet.
- "She's a keeper, Nate," responds Chuck. Plus 1
- Lily used Cece's jewelry loop to read Bart's microfilm. "She always said that was the best way to catch a husband in a lie. She was referring to low-grade diamonds, but still." Plus 5
- Rufus secretly eats pie after his healthy hormone-free Thanksgiving. Plus 3
Total: 58
Faker Than a New York Thanksgiving Where No One Wears a Coat Outside
- As Serena observes, the turkey is raw when she picks it, along with Sage and Steven, up from the market. How did they manage to sit down to dinner so soon after getting back? Turkeys need like six hours to cook, even when you are rich. Minus only 5, because maybe six hours did pass: Steven seemed really drunk when he confronted Dan, and that would explain the blank looks on everyone else's faces when they sat down, and the fact that no one actually ate anything.
- Georgina waltzes into the van der Woodsens apartment and sits down for Thanksgiving dinner. Minus only 2, because at least this is acknowledged by Serena ("Even Georgina who I didn't actually invite, welcome.") and Vanya is in Minsk.
- But wait why did Vanya take the kids to Minsk for the holidays? They don't celebrate Thanksgiving over there. Minus 3
- Vanya, though frequently referenced, has not actually been on the show since the beginning of the season. No points, just saying. Also, I kind of miss Vanessa and her tofu-sage stuffing. Is that bad?
- Really? Dan wants his Serena chapter to post in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner? Before pie? Minus 6
- Dan talks about his vendetta against the gang on the Upper East Side with the deluded air of a psychopath talking about a mass murderer: "Tonight, for the first time, they weren't looking down on me … " Uh, except for the part where Nate punched him and he hit the floor … Minus 8 for this total transformation — at least we should be able to see glimpses of Old Dan. What's he so bitter about, anyway? He dumped Serena. Multiple times.
- After Dan cruelly blows up Thanksgiving, sending Serena on the path to her next train overdose, Serena's stepfather Bart Bass is all, "I love your work," Minus 5. But, thought: Is Bart Bass actually Satan? The last shot of him, he was calling in a cruel favor while standing in front of leaping flames. And that would at least partly explain the Elizabeth Hurley relationship.
- "I was thinking of taking a few days at Mireval," says Lily, apparently she means NOW, because she doesn't change outfits or anything before air-kissing and jumping in the car. Minus 6 Sure, that's not going to make him suspicious at all.
- Rufus has a giant picture of Lily hanging on the wall in the loft, which he looks at forlornly while eating pie. Minus 2
Total: 37
Total Total: This episode fell on the slightly realistic side, thanks to Blair calling Chuck on his bullshit and the scales falling from Lily's eyes as she sees Bart Bass's … scales. Only two episodes left! Don't get on the plane, Chuck!!!!

Artful algorithms
16 August 2012
Money laundering and other suspicious behaviours will become more detectable with the refinement of a 2D graphic visualisation tool currently under development at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies.
Super-fast algorithms that will allow IT security analysts to detect an eclectic range of abnormal behaviours are being created by Professor Seok-Hee Hong.
Professor Hong, who received a Future Fellowship from the Australian Research Council to enhance her work in this area, says technological advances are increasing data exponentially, resulting in massive, complex networks.
Graph drawing, or visualisation, is the science and art of creating good geometric representations of a graph. Good visualisation can amplify human cognition; reveal the hidden structure of a network, and thereby lead to new insights, findings or predictions, says Professor Hong.
Many real world networks can be modelled mathematically as 'graphs'. These include networks that are common to many of us, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Wikipedia, Professor Hong states.
"The algorithms we are constructing will have the potential to assist police and security specialists to monitor and analyse, for example, mobile telephone calls or internet social networking sites, using 2D graphs."
"To be used as evidence, these 'graphic visualisations' need to convey information faithfully. We already know that good visualisations have some geometric properties, called aesthetic criteria, including few edge crossings, good area resolution - small area in 2D and small volume in 3D - low curve complexity with few bends per edge, and a high degree of symmetry.
"The challenge we are trying to overcome is the design of a central tool with the clarity and definition to carry out analysis, enabling businesses, researchers and other dataset users to explore datasets to identify patterns, associations or trends," states Professor Hong.
The work being conducted by Professor Hong will also be applicable to biomedical networks such as protein-to-protein interaction biochemical pathways, and gene regulatory networks.
Professor Hong was recently named as a finalist in prestigious Eureka Prize for Innovation in Computer Science for her work.

Update: This giveaway is now closed. Winner is Elena!
{Dill and Lemon Deviled Eggs, from Safest Choice Eggs}
I never paid too much attention to eggs…until I lived overseas. Prior to this, I ate raw cookie dough and enjoying my near-raw eggs in different forms. And then I learned that not all eggs are created equal, or safe to eat. And I experienced first hand, on multiple occasions, that not all eggs are created equal. Eating raw cookie dough was forbidden…absolutely forbidden. Making sunny-side up eggs was not an option. Never got to enjoy eggs with hollandaise in the time I was down there. And when cooking with eggs, you had to crack each individual egg into a small bowl before adding to the bowl you were using to whisk the scrambled eggs or make the cookie dough. Why? Much higher incidence of bad eggs. (And if you cracked them into a small bowl and found they were bad, you didn't have to throw out the whole batch. Six years…this is how I did eggs.
Needless to say, I became a bit leary of eggs…and it stuck with me as I returned to the US.
A little info that I find helpful these days, as a mom…a currently pregnant mom ~ The Safest Choice egg pasteurization process eliminates the risk of Salmonella in eggs before they even enter your kitchen. Safest Choice Eggs are pasteurized in an all-natural, gentle water bath pasteurization process to eliminate the risk of Salmonella. The vast majority of eggs sold in grocery stores are NOT pasteurized. Safest Choice offers peace of mind when making recipes calling for raw or undercooked eggs, and removes the worry of cross contamination.
But, leary I am no more. Enter Safest Choice eggs.
If you want to bop on over, you'll find coupons (yay!), recipes and more on the Safe Eggs website!
This week, we've got a cool prize up for grabs…a gift pack from Safest Choice Eggs ~

Topic: The Gas Drop
Whta do you guys hink aused the gas prices to drop?

Whta do you guys hink aused the gas prices to drop?
This should kind of be a no brainer question shouldn't it? I'd think it would be because of the falling economy which in turn would effect the oil prices?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Economy sucks --> people are broke --> people don't drive as much to save expensive gas --> demand for gas goes down --> gas prices drop.
I think the value of currency has dropped world wide. Organisations aren't doing as much business so they're not buying as much fuel so the oil companies have to finally play ball.
It's down to $1.20 per litre here, still expensive compared to what you guys pay...
A bit off topic but Karson could you please empty your inbox so i can PM you about something?
We dipped below a dollar per litre for the fist time in ages. About 95 cents I believe.
Its about a 1.99-1.75
Just shoot me an email. Okay
Last I saw it was 2.09 here.
95 cents? Thats crazy low.
95 cents? Thats crazy low.
I believe they mean per liter, as Mel said. Google says: 1 liter = 0.264172052 US gallons
Dang, thats over charge! Don't yall wish you got to by by the gallon! I was talking about the Gallon price!
well my per gallon price cheapest spot in my area is get this.... 1.95 a gallon! UNDER 2 BUCKS! (although I remember when it was .95 ......) I almost bought a Ram today in celebration.
It's $1.87 over here and I'm frightened of it. It seemed before like the lower the prices dropped, the higher they would go the next time around. I'm waiting for it to jack back up again to like $10. I pray it doesn't, but we'll see. In the mean time, I'm glad it's down this low since I'm having a decreased income next semester with my campus job.
I hope it sticks.
Yes, its under 1.90 in Alabama
1.73 today, here.
I think the price drop is good. And Scifi wins the answer game
